Narrow grip chin up 13x7.5kg clusters 5 mins
Lateral raise 33x7.5kg clusters 5 mins
Runners 14x12kg

Decided to see how many reps I could get in 5 minutes on a few things, laterals were too light. Lower back wasn’t great after TBDL although it was okay at the time.

Today - bike ride 35mins

Been really busy and lost all motivation (and discipline) lately, things are getting back to normal again though now so will be back at it soon. Thanks for checking.

Getting back to it at last, motivation is back and even the sun has put in its yearly appearance so all is good at the moment.

If the 500m row is even worse next time I think that will prove that doing cardio has a negative effect and in order to improve I need to stop doing it.

Upper body reps done at 10/5 speed. Leg press was a bit rubbish, 125kg felt like a ton and 115kg was no better. Not sure what the issue with leg strength was but will get it back to where it needs to be.
